PHILIP MICHAEL THOMAS | 72

You¡¯ll best remember Philip Michael Thomas as Detective Ricardo Tubbs on the 1980 hit TV series Miami Vice. He then hit further stardom when he appeared in the 1975 movie Coonskin and the 1976 film Sparkle opposite Irene Cara. Aside from his face, you will also find the actor¡¯s voice familiar after voicing the character of Lance Vance in the video games Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

After these projects, he decided to retire from acting. With his more than 30 years in the business with a $2.5 million net worth, Philip surely has investments, like his psychic business. Where did his love for the craft start, though? It has been revealed that the now 72-year-old¡¯s interest in acting began when he participated in his church¡¯s stage productions and became an active member of their theater group. Admirably, Philip is still very much in love with the craft until now.
